Petro,
Actually, I don't have to delete the characters in the Username field; I can
select them and just enter my username to replace them. However, since no
other login screen I am familiar with is configured this way, I'm sure I'll
forget to do that. Since other blind customers may be confused by this edit
field as well, I'll ask them to make Username a label for an empty field
where data can be entered without taking additional actions.

delete the characters you see with first going to the end of the
characters with your END key and then use your backspace key to delete
each character or press END key then shift plus home to select all the
text then delete then proceed to type in your user name now.

Subject: Strange Edit Field
My local bank has a new web site with a non-standard login screen.
Normally, the word Username would be the label for an edit field, but in
this case, it is data already entered into the field. This certainly
caused some confusion for me and some login problems before I realized
there was text in the field.
NVDA handled this problem best, selecting the text in the field when I
used the Tab key to access the field. I could then just type my username
and replace the text. NVDA spoke the words "clickable edit" when I access
the field.
With JAWS, I ended up with my username and the word username both in the
field, which didn't work too well.
When I accessed the field with my Tab key using Window-Eyes 9.1, and typed
my username, WE apparently ate the r, a, and n in my username. The rest
of the letters in my username were there along with the word Username.
Very strange!
I plan to contact the bank and ask the web page designer change the login
screen to a more normal configuration.
